Minori quince bowl, brocade pattern, porcelain, Koyo kiln, Arita ware

Traditional arts in modern life

The shape is based on the motif of a quince, which is one of the auspicious crests, and the pattern is carefully drawn. A small bowl that exudes the warmth and sure craftsmanship of handicrafts. The flowers and modern lattice patterns are carefully drawn one by one using a traditional technique called ``akae''. Although it is detailed, it is overflowing with the gentle loveliness that can only be achieved by handicrafts. The transparent, slightly bluish white color and smooth, smooth texture are the charms of Arita ware.

For side dishes and fruits

Serve with pickled cucumber and wakame seaweed. Also great for pickled vegetables and kimchi. You can make a great side dish by simply plating up some of your regular dishes or leftovers. It has a deep depth, so you can use it to cook dishes with a lot of juice, such as boiled dishes and dipping sauces. It would also be cute to add small fruits such as strawberries or grapes. I feel like even the usual simple dishes can be made into a slightly higher quality atmosphere.

Recommended maintenance by the pottery	・For overpainted products, avoid using the dishwasher and wash them by hand with a soft cloth or sponge. Doing so may cause red, gold, or silver paint to peel off or darken. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors.
Product characteristics/ Handling precautions	・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・Since the painting and glazing work is done by hand, there may be slight differences in the pattern, color shading, glaze color, and application method. ・Since the soil contains a lot of iron, there may be small light brown or black dots on the surface of the pot, but this does not cause any problem in use. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Since it does not absorb water, it is difficult to get stains, mold, etc., and is easy to handle. ・Depending on the age of use, small scratches from forks and knives may become noticeable (especially since olive glaze is soft). ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery.
